GARMENT COLLAR.

Application filed February 7, 1927. Serial No. 166,420.

The present invention relates to a garment collar.

in the making of collars for garments, it customary to first make a neckband for approximately half the height of the collar, and then fasten the collar proper to the upper edge of said ncckband. here the material itroln which said garments are made is heavy or stiff, several operations are required in preparing the neelrband for the collar in addition to putting on the collar itself. This makes a somewhat bulky construction and requires careful worlnnanship to produce a proper lit.

An object of the present invention is to make an improved simple collar which may be secured to a garment, without necessitating the use of a neclrband or other similar construction.

This and other features of the invention will be more fully brought out in the following description and the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l, is a view in perspective of an upper portion of a garment having the neck opening thereof shaped to receive a collar embodying the present invention, the collar being shown thereon in dotted lines.

Figure 2, is a view similar to Figure 1, showing the collar in solid lines in a raised position; and

Figure 3, is a View of a portion of a garment showing the method of attaching the collar to the gari'nent, a corner of the collar being loosened from the garment and turned back to show the method of fastening the collar to the garment.

Referring to the drawings in detail, a garment A has a neck opening 1 therein with upwardly projecting portions 2 and 53 on either side of the front opening l thereof.

A button 5 is secured to one projecting portion 2 and a button hole 6 is provided in the other projecting portion 3 thereof. A collar 7 is formed in the present instance from two pieces of material stitched together about their edges in a well ltnown manner, and being fastened to the collar so that the upper edge of the collar opening-l and edges 8' and 9 of the projecting port-ions 2 and 8 are sewed between the two pieces of material 10 and 11 forming the collar. The collar is then stitched to the body of the garment as along the lines 12 to hold the edge of the may be worn either turned down, as illustrated in Figure l, or turned up as in Figure 2, and in either case forms a neatappearing collar which closely fits the neck of the w'-'i,rer and which has the appearance of a well constructed collar of the common neckband type with a saving in material and laborin the construction thereof, and without the bulkiness of material which is usually found in collars of the HQClIlJMICl type when constructed of heavy material. While the collar is particularly adapted to garments made of heavy material, such as mackinaw jackets, and the like, it has been found that it is equally well adapted for the making of collars for shirts and other garments where a collar of this type is employed.

W e claim:

1. In combination with a garment having a neck opening therein and having a separable opening extending down a side of said garment, and having an upwardly projecting portion adjacent. each edge of said separable opening, said projection being integral with the body of the garment, of a collar connected to the neck opening of said garment and having the ends thereof connected to the edges of said upwardly. projecting portions of said garment.

2. In combination with a garment having a neck opening therein, and having an up ward projection at the froi'itof said neck opening, said projection being integral with the body of the garmenhcf a collar connected to said neck opening and having an end thereof connected to aside of saidnpwardly 'proj ectin portion.

In testimony whereofwe allix our signatures.
